Catelyn nodded, looking worriedly at the intensive care unit…Last night, she was still reassuring Cedrick that everything would be fine. However, things just go differently than we want all the time.At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit was pushed open, and a nurse ran over. "Miss Coleman is dying. Come in quick if you want to see her for the last time!"Regardless of the infection of the germs around, everyone just hurried in. For many people, Janice's death was not the most important thing. Everyone was there because they knew Cedrick cared about her, and now was the perfect time for them to be at his side to 'show their sympathy'.Catelyn walked toward the hospital bed. Over there, Cedrick was sitting beside it, holding Janice's hand. His eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot, and a circle of stubble appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had not been shaving for days!Janice was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose. A thin l
Chapter 1061As the last sunset glow disappeared, the car turned the last corner and drove down the lane in front of the Clark Mansion.Ezekiel had a business meeting in the evening, so he intended to go home first to take a shower and change clothes...He had just gotten out of the car and hadn't stepped into the foyer when another black car came up behind him. The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes. Ezekiel subconsciously reached out to block the light and squinted.Then he saw the car stop. Catelyn got out, still wearing her bulky down jacket from the morning, yet her cheeks were stiffer and whiter than in the morning, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried."Cat?" Ezekiel raised his eyebrows in surprise when he realized it was Catelyn. "Why didn't you call ahead to tell me you would come back?"Catelyn looked at Ezekiel, who greeted her as if nothing had happened. Her heart sank. "I have something to say to you.""Well, me too. Let's go in and talk about
Chapter 1062"You admitted it, right? It's really you!" Catelyn's head buzzed, her eyes flashing with grief. "You didn't only ruin Janice but also ruin me. How can I face Ceddy now? Janice was his aunt. He takes her as his mother..."Ezekiel knew it was useless to explain. He anxiously took Catelyn's hand. "I did not want to. Cat, believe me. It was really just an accident. From the accident to now, I have been unable to eat well or sleep well. I have nightmares every night...""I don't want to hear your explanation. I just want to know what you and Janice were arguing about in the stairwell." Catelyn was annoyed, shaking off Ezekiel's hand fiercely.Her mind was in a whirl. She didn't want to hear any explanation now. She just wanted to know how to atone and make Cedrick forgive her father.But was it possible?Her father killed Janice..."I..." Ezekiel hesitated."You still won't tell me the truth? Dad, I'm tired of this guessing game. I beg you... Ouch." Catelyn's blood rush
Chapter 1063Catelyn was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating and ached sharply. She ran up to the second floor in a hurry.The bedroom was filled with a strong smell of blood.Ezekiel was lying on the bed, his bleeding wrist resting on the edge of the clean white sheet. There was a pool of blood on the ground. His wrinkled old face turned pale from blood loss. He looked dying.Catelyn ordered the maid to call an ambulance and then took a medical kit to treat Ezekiel's wound.The wound was so deep that his bones could be seen. She wrapped thick gauze around it but still couldn't stop the bleeding."Dad! Are you crazy? Why did you do this? I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you...""Cat, I killed someone. I should be punished by the law." Ezekiel's unfocused eyes were narrowed as he choked, "But I really don't want to go back to jail. I would rather die than spend the rest of my life in jail. Don't save me...""What are you talking about? I'm your daught
Chapter 1064In front of Cedrick was Janice's photo, in which she had a graceful smile on her gentle face. He stroked the woman in the photo.It was a pity that she would never smile again."Mr. Mason." Eason cautiously reminded him, "Mrs. Mason is here, and Grandpa Mason wants you to come down."Cedrick raised his head numbly, his eyes dull. "Tell her to leave. I want to be alone.""You can't go on like this. No one can come back from the dead. Miss Coleman would not like to see you so sad, and there are some details of the funeral that you need to decide."Cedrick leaned back on the bedside table, his eyes bloodshot.Seeing this, Eason added, "Mrs. Mason went to see Ezekiel in the evening."Cedrick's slightly closed eyes snapped open and looked sharp. "What was she doing there?""Mrs. Mason stayed at the Clark Mansion for almost an hour. Then an ambulance came and took Ezekiel to the hospital for emergency treatment. It is said that he cut his wrist, but he was rescued in
Chapter 1065At the same time, in the hospital.After the doctor finished checking on the patient and making notes, he turned off the lights and left.Ezekiel, who was originally dying from blood loss, opened his eyes the moment the doctor closed the door. Ignoring his bandaged wrist wound, in a panic, he took out an untraceable customized cell phone from under the pillow and dialed a number.Before he could ask for help, an icy male voice rang out on the other end of the line."Idiot, you gave yourself away because of this Janice. Now Cedrick is already investigating you. I should really think carefully about whether to keep you alive. Only the dead keep secrets forever..."Ezekiel obviously felt a murderous vibe overflowing.He was instantly frightened, his forehead sweating. He hurriedly said, "I won't betray you! Please believe me. I did not say anything. Cedrick can't find out about you. I raised Catelyn by myself. I know her the best. Today I slit my wrists, and she was sc
Chapter 1066Catelyn sat up straight. She saw Joanne come into the house carrying several bags with her. The bodyguards didn't stop her. Then Catelyn realized that Cedrick had only forbidden her to go out. Joanne placed the bags on the table. They were all supplements. She sat next to Catelyn and took her hand. "Catelyn, your hands are so chilly. I know you're sad right now, but you have to take care of yourself, so the baby can be healthy..." "Joanne, it's so good that you come see me. Cedrick won't let me go out." "Cedrick must be afraid that you would grieve too much over Miss Coleman's death. He is worried about you." Catelyn didn't say the murderer might be her dad. She was anxious. "But I can't rest in peace right now. My dad is in the hospital having a fever. The doctor said it was serious. I want to go see him, but Cedrick won't let me." "Is he so harsh?" Joanne muttered. "Yeah. Can you help me?" Joanne blinked. "How can I help you?" Catelyn passed h
Chapter 1067 "Are you going to say something?" Looking at Catelyn's pale cheeks, Cedrick's heart softened. Since Aunt Jancice's accident, Catelyn hadn't rested well. She looked haggard. Catelyn stared down at her shoes and muttered, "I want to see Aunt Janice.""The funeral is in three days. You can go to the funeral." Cedrick wouldn't let her go see Janice now, but on the day of the funeral. Catelyn was surprised. ‘Why won't he let me go to see Aunt Janice?' The winter sun shone through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, but Catelyn was in a gloomy mood. She clutched Cedrick's arm and explained anxiously, “My... My dad didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident. My dad felt so guilty that he tried to kill himself yesterday." Immediately, Cedrick's mild face turned dark. Cedrick became mad when he heard Catelyn speak up for Ezekiel. ‘She knew exactly that Ezekiel was the murderer!' He shook Catelyn's arm off abruptly and snapped, "If you don't do the chec
